Quality reviews

The quality review process is a risk-based approach and addresses regulatory requirements and adopts a formative approach to support the training placement providers to meet their obligation to provide a high level of education and training for their learners.  For any intervention undertaken, clear reasoning is required to justify the use of a particular method of intervention and the following principles are considered:

• Is the method effective and efficient?
• Is it proportionate?
• Does it ensure a high quality, learning environment?
• Does it ensure patient safety?
• Does it add value?
• Does it have the learner as its focus?

There are five methods of review: -

• Urgent Concern Review
• Risk-based Review
• Multi-professional Review
• Programme or Thematic Review
• Monitoring the Learning Environment

The methods are supported by six practice approaches: -

• Learner/Educator meeting (on-site) visit
• Learner meeting (focus group)
• Educator meeting (Education Lead Conversation)
• Work programme meeting
• Intelligence gathering meeting
• Senior leader conversation
